What is an endodontist?

You may have heard the term endodontist from your dentist. An
endodontist is a dental professional who specializes in the treatment of
the pulp and root of your tooth. The area that you see when you look at
your teeth is the enamel and any regular dentist can do the enamel work
such as crowns, veneers, cleanings, etc. The inner part of your tooth
contains vessels, tissue, and nerves. An endodontist receives extra
training to treat problems relating to the tooth root. We will look at
